4-hr hold

So after yesterday's freakout about my brother's wedding next summer, DH and I decided to forge ahead with TTC this month.
I'm starting with OPKs today (CD11) and woah, the 4 hr hold is a killer, huh? I've got one more hour to go and I've got to go


So what time do most people here get there positive? I've heard some people use FMU and others wait until noon or later.

Re: 4-hr hold

OMG it's AWFUL!! I feel your pain.

I usually hold from 4-8pm. I've gotten positive results at 8pm. Good luck!!

Re: 4-hr hold

I usually hold from 430 until 7 when I get home and I have gotten positive. Altho, last month I tested with FMU and got positive and later on that night a negatvie. This month I'm using the digital so I'm trying to be more consistent.

Re: 4-hr hold

Not only did the 4 hour hold kill me but limiting my liquid intake was also so hard.

My goal this month is to really really take it seriously and follow the instructions very strictly!!

Re: 4-hr hold

I use FMU - there is no way i can test at work.

When I've gotten a positive in the morning, i see no reason to test again after that.. all it would do is confuse things. A positive is a positive in my book.

Re: 4-hr hold

The one time I tried it I was dying! Watching every second of the clock at the end!!

Good luck to you!!!
